    I like this idea since the icons are an improvement, but nothing could make me switch from the Guild skin. I just find the beige and brown colour so much easier to look at, all the others hurt my eyes after a few minutes.

    Oh god yes.

    The Guild is the best skin because it allows me to read my own posts without vomiting.

    I was actually planning on releasing two skins at once, one 'light' and one 'dark.' Morbid is the light one, but I wasn't entirely happy with how the dark one turned out because it seemed too difficult to read text. One major problem we have is that we use a mod to colorize usernames. It's super useful and I think a lot of people really like it. Unfortunately, it really restricts the color palates that can be used for skins because all of the different username colors have to be visible on the background. If they aren't, it looks like the NTW skin where it's extremely difficult to read many names.

    That said, the Guild skin does indeed use a palate that seems to work well with all the username colors. I'll try and come up with a brown-hued skin that resembles it. I will not, however, modify the existing Guild skin, nor do I think it's worthwhile to make an identical Guild skin that just has different icons.

    I would prefer something with a light blue in the back ground since that is very easy on my eyes. I only use the Morbid skin since the colours don't clash for the mods, which they do with the NTW skin. That is the one best for my eyes, but I have a hard time reading in that one since the colour clashes are very distinct in that skin.

    I like this style, but coming to the org from a forum with a dark background, while sitting in a dark room can be very hard on the eyes.
